"eYe COMME des GARÇONS JUNYA WATANABE MAN" has collaborated with shoe brand "CAUSE." The result is a stylish yet comfortable wingtip boot.

Boots as Comfortable as Sneakers
The design blends wingtip shoes with chukka boots. A crepe sole, prioritizing cushioning, has been used for the sole, showcasing a masterful use of various materials and ideas.
Vibrant blue and orange stitching accentuates areas requiring strength, such as the ankle opening and the end of the lacing panel. The materials combine smooth leather for the toe cap and heel with canvas for the upper. This combination is lightweight, durable, and functionally rich.
Furthermore, throughout the shoe, there are thoughtful details that realize CAUSE's concept of "always making comfortable shoes." The last is a wide aubric last designed for easy walking and to prevent fatigue. The sizing has also been adjusted to fit Japanese feet.
The insole uses the same material found in CAUSE sneakers, expressing a dressy design with casual material feel and comfort. Currently available at the COMME des GARÇONS Aoyama store.
